Night Crawlers

[AbranV]

In the section on "Pacman Frog" people say that night crawlers are great food for Horned Frogs. That's great but no one mention anything on how to keep and raise night crawler here!

Well now you do. When I was younger my brother and I had a nightcrawler business. A little before dusk we would water the lawns really well and give it a couple hours to soak up the moisture. Once it was dark, we went looking for crawlers. With each of us using a headlamp and a bucket, we'd probably pull 50-100 every couple nights.

We stored them in a galvanized tub that was filled with garden soil and a couple layers of damp cardboard was used for a top. The tub was kept in the shade and that was about it.

I'm sure if had a fairly large tub full of organic soil, and maybe some sort of top you could probably make your own little colony. I'm not sure how to breed them. I would assume just pour some water into the tub and walk away. They'll make their way to the surface, and do what they do to make little crawlers.
